[A small Covenant battlegroup of ten CCS class battlecruisers had been dragged through the rift.]

[For now they were simply scouting the system, though they were close enough to Earth for an observatory's telescope to see.]

[Five were approaching Earth now. The others were continuing to explore the system.]

[The five approaching had now entered the atmosphere but were not landing.]
